\n\t READ >> WPBeginner's 21 Best Church WordPress Themes (Paid & Free)<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

And one of the coolest things about MemberPress is that it works with just about any WordPress theme!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve got your WordPress site in hand, you can sign up for a MemberPress plan<\/a> on our website. The Launch plan is a great choice and has everything you\u2019ll need to get things off the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let\u2019s get your memberships set up in 5 steps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Install MemberPress<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress is a tool that lets you create and protect members-only content on your site. Once you\u2019ve purchased a plan, you can install MemberPress<\/a> by downloading the .zip<\/em> file from your account dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"MemberPress$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
To upload it to your WordPress site, navigate to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin > Choose File<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Once you open the plugin file that\u2019s saved on your computer, click on Install Now<\/em> , followed by Activate<\/em> Plugin<\/em>. MemberPress<\/em> will now appear as a menu item in your WordPress admin dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After it\u2019s done installing and activating, the plugin will prompt you to enter your license key. You can find this in your MemberPress account dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chances are you won\u2019t be charging for your memberships. But you still may want to create separate plans for your website. For example, you might have separate membership groups like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Members of the congregation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Worship team volunteers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Children\u2019s ministry volunteers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Teens<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Church staff<\/li>\n\n\n\n
You name it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
By setting up different membership groups, you can create a unique experience and offer varied access to certain areas of your site, depending on a individual\u2019s role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The information you provide when setting up your memberships will give site visitors a breakdown of the features and benefits associated with of each membership level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When someone goes to sign up, they\u2019ll be able to choose their membership type from one central page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Set up your membership plans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
To get started, browse to MemberPress > Memberships<\/em> from your dashboard, then click on Add New<\/em> at the top:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
On this screen, you can enter a name for your membership plan:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
$\"Creating$ <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
To the right, under the Membership Terms<\/em> section, there are field where you can enter pricing information and billing type. However, since you probably won\u2019t be using these, you simply leave them blank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also determine the level of access (Lifetime<\/em>, Expire<\/em>, or Fixed Expire<\/em>). If you\u2019re unsure how to complete these details, consider exploring some examples<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this same page, below the text editor, you can find the Membership Options<\/a> section:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
In this panel, you can configure the membership permissions and registration options. You can also set up the membership access URLs. When you\u2019re done, click on the Publish <\/em>button to save your changes. Also, note that you can repeat this step for as many plans as you wish to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
